PARK TOWNSHIP, MI -- Police continue an investigation Tuesday into the circumstances of the death of a 38-year-old Park Township man found late Monday night next to his running vehicle in the Amberwood Apartments complex.

Ottawa County dispatchers received a call around 11:50 p.m. Jan. 6 from the man's family, who said he had been missing since Sunday night. He had not shown up for his manufacturing job in Hudsonville, sheriff's Capt. Mark Bennett said.

An Ottawa sheriff's deputy drove to the Amberwood Apartments complex — in the area of 152nd Avenue and Ottawa Beach Road — to look for the man, who resides there.

The deputy found him unresponsive on the ground next to his running vehicle, with head trauma, in the 1100 block of Ambertrace Drive. The location is near Park Township's Itty Bitty Bar.

Authorities are not saying at this time how the man's head trauma may have been caused. The victim's name is not yet being released.

Police remained on scene through the night investigating in the well-kept neighborhood of townhouses surrounded by trees.

A few neighbors stood outside before sunrise, shivering, looking on as police patrol cars lined the street.

One woman, who said she has lived in the complex for 10 years, described the area as calm and said nothing like this has happened before. The woman said she walks outside at night and feels safe.
